Walk in the Park - an image of the Dynamo geometry
Eliminate the Echo - an image of the Rhino geometry
In this part of the assignment, the objective was to design an installation that visually simulates acoustic dampening using a dynamic and adjustable model. Using Grasshopper, I created a rectangular grid of cylindrical elements suspended from the ceiling. I used the Rectangular Grid
component to generate a grid of points, and the Cylinder
component to place cylinders at these points. The height of each cylinder was dynamically adjusted based on its distance from an attractor point, which I defined using the Construct Point
component. To create an undulating wave pattern, I applied a sine wave function to these distances, with the amplitude of the sine wave controlled by a Number Slider
labeled "Amplitude". Additional sliders were used to adjust the grid dimensions (Extent X
, Extent Y
), the spacing between grid points (Size X
, Size Y
), and the coordinates of the attractor point (X coordinate
, Y coordinate
, Z coordinate
). These parameters allowed for real-time adjustments, providing flexibility in exploring different visual effects.
